SPECIAL FEATURES

• integrated Micro-Gyro Stabilizers (recoil reduction even without A.A.S.H)
• Counterweight Tensile-Durasteel Mesh stock with micro-hinge recoil buffers
• Variable Gas Venting / Adjustable muzzle brake
• Modular Barrel Assembly (standard, long, suppressed)
• Underslung Attachment Rail (grenade launcher, EMP, flame unit compatibility)
• Selectable Fire Control System (semi, burst, auto programmable)
• Condition Networking: Real-time ammo, barrel temperature, and targeting data feed into Lilaste tactical nets
• A.A.S.H Compatibility: Maintains full synergy with recoil-suppression rigs
• A.L.S.D.B receiver: the receiver of this weapon uses the Advanced loading system to allow for all kinds of calibers -from .45ACP to .50cal bmg- to be fired through this weapon reducing the need to modify more than just the barrel to turn this weapon from an assault rifle to a marksman rifle
• Quick change barrel system: the barrel/ front half of this weapon can be quickly swapped out. Allowing this rifle to be transformed into a sniper rifle if need be

STRENGTHS

• Superior Recoil Control: Built-in stabilizers make it viable even without A.A.S.H rigs.
• Role Versatility: Barrel modularity and burst fire allow the rifle to double as standard, marksman, or suppressed weapon.
• Utility Expansion: Underslung port allows integration of squad-support attachments.
• Networking Integration: Real-time telemetry enhances squad-level coordination and command oversight.
• Durability: Fyrirdögun + Seigurium + Laminanium ensures battlefield survivability with self-healing against minor damage.
• Ammunition Versatility: Retains the signature hybrid slug + Tibana system of the LO series.
• Ergonomic Handling: Despite upgrades, maintains lightweight design and comfortable long-use handling.
• A.A.S.H Compatibility: When paired with the A.A.S.H system, the rifle's usability, and performance are significantly enhanced. the use of a AASH System gives the weapon little to no recoil
• Armor Piercing: using a large Caliber 30-06 round, the Slugs of this rifle can penetrate most armor, if not provide a large Concussive Force
• Self-Healing Armor: using alloys made from Laminanium, the weapon can "heal" minor damage while not in use
• Rapid Transition: The LO-20D is designed for swift transitions between ammunition types, allowing soldiers to quickly adapt to changing combat scenarios.
• Power Cell Expansion: Aetherium power cell doubles Tibana capacity, giving superior sustained fire for prolonged battles.

WEAKNESSES

• Complex Ammunition Logistics: Carrying both Tibana canisters/power cells and 30-06 slug magazines forces soldiers to split loadout space, reducing capacity for grenades, medical gear, or other equipment.
• Training Requirement: While user-friendly in basic function, mastering hybrid fire modes, networking features, and modular swaps demands extra training time compared to simpler rifles.
• Field Repairs Are Difficult: While durable, any major damage requires Order-specific tools and armorers. Improvised battlefield fixes are nearly impossible for untrained troops
• Signature Emissions: The Tibana firing mode produces distinct energy signatures detectable by advanced scanners, making concealment harder in stealth or recon operations.

DESCRIPTION
The LO-20D represents the next stage in the Lilaste Order's hybrid rifle program, refining the LO-18D into a true modular battle rifle. Designed for adaptability, survivability, and integration into the Order's networked battlefield systems, the LO-20D corrects the shortcomings of its predecessor while preserving its core hybrid versatility.

The incorporation of gyro stabilizers and recoil-dampening stock mesh allows for smoother operation without reliance on A.A.S.H rigs, while modular barrels and programmable fire control extend its role flexibility. With underslung attachment options and direct integration into Lilaste Order tactical networks, the LO-20D has become the Order's most adaptable infantry weapon to date, capable of meeting the demands of any combat environment.

Very cool! I'm not entirely sure I understand this:

You need to link where you found the picture, or the AI which made it.

MANIAC should be good


Edit: I made some changes to the weapon to account for larger and smaller calibers
